Description

**DISCLAIMER** Since creating this course, Squarespace has done significant upgrades to the backend of its platform. In some/most instances the videos will not match what you see on my screen. If you are only looking to learn how to use Squarespace, then you should take another course that is more up-to-date.


BUT, if you are looking for more of a general, how to run a web design business, then yes, take this course you will learn a ton!


This course is so much more than "how to design a website using Squarespace". That's only the basis of the course; the rest is jam-packed with tips, tricks, and advice on how to make more money designing websites. I've taken my 12+ years of experience and condensed these invaluable lessons into simple, easy-to-follow steps.

The only live videos are the short intro parts where I set up each section. The majority of the lectures are screencasts. Learning by watching has been proven to be the most effective way for the average learner. If you listen to what I'm teaching (vs. just watching along) you will get valuable insight into what it's like to own a web design business.

The feedback I've gotten from this course has been humbling and astonishingly positive. With over 1,000 students, I'm confident you'll love this course.

Who this course is for:

  • No prior programming or coding knowledge AT ALL is required to take this course.
  • This is the perfect course if you are a beginner web designer and want to pick up more web design clients. It is an incredible easy-to-follow course.
  • I employ the ELI5 ("explain it like I'm 5") teaching method, so this course is designed for all skill levels. I have created the course with newbies designers in mind, but anyone that wants to build a website but is scared of the idea of coding should take this course.
  • This course is also great for business owners that are on a budget, who do not have the funds to hire a professional designer.
  • This is not for the highly experienced coder or web developer, but I'll show some pro tips and tricks that a medium level design may not know.
  • This is more than a "how to design a website" course. It's more about how to create a well oiled web design business. I've made sure to include tons of ways to earn passive income.
